Human Supremacy

            Somewhere between building houses, running factories, making music, and slaughtering billions of animals, human beings seem to have proclaimed themselves ruler of the Earth.
            While it may be true that yes, we are the dominant species and have the capability to kill most all of our opponents, we are still only animals scurrying about on some indifferent planet, in some mysterious universe. All we are is just another biological being that got itself involved in reconfiguring our environment a little more than the other ones.

            Think about it, we are still only an insignificant colony of biological beings in a universe that does not much care. Nature still rules over us, decimating civilizations each year with natural ‘disasters’ while also providing us with the means to live, giving us all we need.
           And keep that fact in mind; it is nature creating our food and the resources for what we do. All too often, though, we take what we are provided with, and then pretend we gave it to ourselves – but there is some force way beyond our comprehension that is responsible for us all, and it is this force that should always be kept in mind and respected.

                                   In other words,
                                   we are not the controllers
                                   of the universe –
                                   we are only
                                   occurrences
                                   in it.

            Our lives are not our own doing, at least not by the person we think we are. There is something else putting us in this place, and I can say with shameless certainty that I cannot fathom what that force could be, nor will I ever pretend to be in charge of it, though I will do my best to embrace it.
